Family of law student killed in hit-and-run on Tema Motorway demands thorough probe

The family of 20-year-old Central University law student, Ivan Apprey Baidoo, is demanding a thorough investigation into the circumstances of his death in a motorcycle crash on the Accra-Tema Motorway. According to his father, Evans Baidoo, the incident occurred on August 27, 2026, when Ivan left home to meet friends for a football game, never to return.

The family learned of the tragedy when a stranger informed them via Ivan's phone that he had died. The family suspects that an alleged police pursuit may have led to the crash, with the surviving rider allegedly pulling a pistol and ramming the motorcycle from behind near the motorway toll booth. The family is also troubled by the missing phone and the delays in identifying the police officer involved.

They have petitioned the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for a full investigation, seeking answers about the alleged pursuit, the events leading to the crash, the missing phone, and the officer's role. The family's priority is to establish how Ivan died and ensure that all unanswered questions about the final moments of the 20-year-old law student are addressed.
